Join us for an unforgettable RIB tour around Puffin Island, where you’ll experience the best of Anglesey’s heritage and wildlife. From the colourful houses of Beaumaris to the stunning wildlife on Puffin Island, this tour offers a unique blend of excitement, nature, and history. Perfect for wildlife enthusiasts and thrill-seekers alike, this one-hour adventure promises memories that will last a lifetime.
Your journey begins at Beaumaris Pier, where you’ll board one of our powerful RIBs. As you cruise towards Puffin Island, our expert skippers will stop at various points of interest, including historic lighthouses, shipwreck locations, and hidden caves. Along the way, you’ll learn about the rich history of the area and its diverse wildlife.
Once at Puffin Island, prepare to be amazed by the variety of seabirds that call the island home. Depending on the season, you might spot puffins, cormorants, guillemots, and more. The island is also home to a large colony of grey seals, and if you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of bottlenose dolphins or harbour porpoises.
On the return journey, hold on tight as we pick up speed for an exhilarating ride back to Beaumaris, with twists and turns that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.

We see puffins at Puffin Island from March/April to August but in some years they arrive earlier and leave later.
Generally, we run trips at 11am, 12.30pm, and 3.30pm each day.
Our boats, The Beast and Discovery, can carry up to 12 passengers each and around 11m long.
The Beast has twin Mercury V8 outboard engines that produce 500hp and Discovery has twin Mercury V8 300hp engines making her a whopping 600hp.
Warm and waterproof!
It’s always colder out on the water and it can get very windy so we always advise bringing extra layers. Powerboat trips can, by nature, be wet. We advise you wear warm clothing, suitable footwear (trainers or lightweight walking boots) and a waterproof coat. You may wish to bring waterproof trousers and gloves/hat (particularly for winter trips). It can get very bright out on the water, so sunglasses are recommended. If it’s particularly sunny, suncream is advised.
Optional Extras:
Please note – if you are not appropriately dressed you may not be allowed on board due to your own safety.
The beauty of the Menai Strait is that it changes throughout the year. Each season brings something new to Anglesey’s spectacular coastline. If you want to see puffins, visit us between March and August for the best chance to spot some of these majestic little fellows.
Our boats are powerful RIBs with the latest 300hp Mercury engines. Our boats are coded to category 4 by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, this means they meet strict safety requirements.
Our skippers are fully qualified very experienced RYA Powerboat Instructors and have been navigating our local waters for many years.
We supply life jackets.
Yes, there is a large car park just next to the pier which costs £7.50 for the day.

We loved our boat trip, water doughnuts and speeding along 50mph + was great fun. Our skipper was lovely, very knowledgeable and enthusiasm shone through. Want to come back and see the puffins next year... although this was my soul reason to book this trip it really did not disappoint…

What a great experience. Our skipper, Jason, was great. Good chat, very knowledgable and really pushed the boat. The boat is an impressive thing which really moves. Great experience! Will be back to do the other tour.

We really enjoyed the boat trip to Puffin Island (2 August) - the people before us saw 2 puffins but even though we didn't it was still an exhilarating, (fast at times) and informative trip.
